Yasuo vs Galio

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile skirmisher who needs minion waves for E mobility and short trades.
Pressure Galio early to deny him calm scaling and prevent him from using W and E to control trades.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions to stay mobile and avoid Galio W taunt range.
Use W to block Galio Q skillshots and commit when Galio's W or E are on cooldown.
Punish Galio if he wastes E or W by stepping forward aggressively with Q and E combos.

Danger windows

Yasuo is vulnerable when W and passive shield are down; avoid trades during these windows.
Respect Galio's W and E availability as they enable layered crowd control and punish close trades.
Be cautious when Galio's R is up and his team can start fights; hard push or play safe to avoid ganks.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus E to engage in quick trades before Galio can safely retaliate.
Avoid extended fights when Galio's W and E are up to prevent taunt and knock-up combos.
Maintain wave presence to keep E mobility and avoid being locked down.

Power spikes

Yasuo's major spikes are level 2 (Q+E) and level 6 (R if knockup available).
Galio's major spike is level 6 with R for map impact and follow-up knock-ups.
Respect Galio's W and E cooldowns as his main short-range control tools.

Win conditions

Use Q and E to control space and engage short trades near minions to maintain mobility.
Punish Galio when his W or E are down by forcing trades and wave pressure.
Deny Galio a passive lane by pressuring early and preventing him from roaming effectively with R.

Tip: For Yasuo vs Galio, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
